Typographic Maps

I wanted to write this post to provide some context to a couple of very special maps I intend to share over the next few weeks. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and maps to me are always worth many more. Words often appear on maps to label particular features and provide important contextual information- they often provide the depth that can keep you staring at a map for hours. In some cases, however, the words themselves provide the features of interest making the points, lines and polygons buy cipro cheap online that we expect on maps superfluous. Maps with only words, known as “Typographic Maps”, are becoming increasingly popular. I have included my 5 favourites below.
